Joseph Marien Stadium

The stadium features fifteen symmetrical bays across its facade, incorporating sculptural bas-reliefs that represent different sports disciplines of the early 20th century.

Albert Callewaert completed the construction of the stadium in 1926, creating a venue that could accommodate 25,000 spectators for national team matches until 1929.

The stadium's architectural elements combine functional design with decorative features, including stained glass windows and member lounges displaying period-specific craftsmanship.

The venue maintains a current capacity of 5,100 seats and serves as the home ground for Royale Union Saint-Gilloise football club.

Oscar De Clerck created seven detailed relief panels on the exterior walls, depicting athletes in motion through classical artistic representations.
